■ Fuel type
Af ter you have made the ground con trol / plat form
con trol de ci sion you need to know whether the
RT
has a gas o line or die sel en gine. If it has a gas o line
en gine you fur ther need to know whether it is set up
to burn LP-only, or dual-fuel (LP or gas o line). If it is
set up to burn dual-fuel you have to de cide whether
to burn gas o line or LP. The sim plest way to tell
what kind of en gine set up you have is to look in the
fuel com part ment on the left side of the
RT open
both fuel compartment doors.
●
If the only fuel source you see there is a
tank labeled GASOLINE FUEL, the
RT
has a gasoline engine set up to burn
gasoline.
●
If the only fuel source you see is a tank
labeled DIESEL FUEL, the
RT has a
diesel engine.
●
If the only fuel source you see is one or
more LP tanks, the
RT has a special
gasoline engine set up to burn LP-only.
●
If you see a GASOLINE FUEL tank and
one or more LP tanks, the
RT has a
special gasoline engine set up to burn
either gasoline or LP.
